Previously the world stamp exhibition Ibra 2023 took place May 25-28, 2023, in Essen, Germany.

According to the Ibra 2023 website, Ibra believes “that stamp collecting offers a unique connection between art, history, and community. Whether you’re an experienced collector or a curious beginner, we provide the resources to deepen your passion. Our goal is to promote the joy of stamp collecting and inspire the next generation of collectors.”

The 2023 show was organized by Bund Deutscher Philatelisten and hosted a bourse (sales area) of more than 100 dealers, auctioneers and postal administrations.

The Ibra 2023 exhibition was under the patronage of the International Federation of Philately (FIP) and featured more than 800 exhibits from around the world in approximately 3,600 exhibit frames.
